"The
beauty of the sculpture, the solemn stillness of the woods, disturbed
only by the scrambling of monkeys, and the chattering of parrots, the
desolation of the city, and the mystery hung over it, all created an
interest higher, if possible, than I had ever felt among the ruins of
the Old World." John L. Stephens, 1839, Copán's First Explorer.
In his now classic work, Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas
and Yucatan, published in 1841, Stephens first brought Copán
to world attention.

Constructed
during the Mayan Classic Period 300-800 A.D. - Copan is considered a
masterpiece of Mayan sculpture and architecture. The intricate stelae,
The Great Plaza, The Hieroglyphic Stairway, Las Sepulturas residential
site, were all abandoned for reasons yet unknown and the site reclaimed
by the jungle, around year 1200. Today, a multinational team of Maya
experts continue the explorations that John Stephens began.
